Amazing that here in 2014 people still accept this crap and threats from the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. The hypocrites would never admit to being anti-education if they were asked by a news reporter in an interview.

Will the jw's get all excited about Russia in the Ukraine?
by hoser inusually when world events like this take place the dubs start into how the end must be so close they can almost taste it.
maybe there will be some speculation about the king of the north and south again.

The King of the North returns
In the last year the JW's have probably thought Iran, then North Korea, then China, and now Russia is the King of the North. The truth is they do not have a clue. Nothing they ever say is true. They are false prophets.

The Watchtower leadership protecting the pedophiles in this religion was absolutely unforgiveable & shameless.

" when this system continues to drag on with no armageddon in sight, j.w's will throw j.f.
rutherford under the 'bus like they did c.t russell".. my first reaction to that was, well they can't do that, they need the 1919 choosing of rutherford to legitimise the present day g.b.. but for how long ?.

Somewhere in between the present distancing from Russell and making Rutherford disappear, they need to uncouple from 1914 too.
How the hell are they going to do all this ?
The JW's have morphed into an Organization worshipping cult. Still it is doomsday rooted, and thrives on a sense of urgency that the end is at hand and that they are God's sole channel of truth & salvation.
1914 and everything leading up to the date and after the date is proving false. How do they uncouple from this date?
A) Agree with historians and accept that 607 in incorrect, and that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587. This makes their 2,520 year End of the Gentile Times prophecy end in 1934. They can easily blame 1914 on Russell and his Pyramidology. Then they can easily spin their prophecies & beliefs around events leading up to and including WWII. (Jesus becomes King, Satan cast down, rise of Hitler, World at war, rise of UN, etc.)
B) They can say after Rutherford died (1942) that the JW religion was inspected & choosen by God, and organized to be his people & channel. They can start the heavenly calling and F&DS choosing after Rutherford dies and it completely cuts him out of the F&DS class. Rutherford becomes like Russell.....just another man leading to the start of the truth in the last days.
C) The JW's can then explain why the end hasn't come yet, why there has been an increase in Memorial partakers, do away with the ridiculous over-lapping generation belief and go back to "this generation" belief. This will give them a revised sense of urgency that gets the new Watchtower HQ built and gets them to 2034.
D) As 2034 approaches, all the Watchtower has to do is start emphasising that Noah preached for 120 years before the flood and that gets the Organization to 2054.
If you are the Governing Body....you can imagine and do anything you want with a cult whose members accept "progressive revelation" of their beliefs and worships the manufactured clean image of their Organization.

Jehovah's Witnesses Street recruiting thwarted by "Apostates"

I like this couple. I have no problem at all with anyone feeling like they want to confront JW's in public. You are not controlled by the Watchtower any longer, and do not have to play nice with this cult that has destroyed many people & families with their dysfunctional teachings.
I would not call them brother or talk about loving them. I would not use the bible or scripture. I would just talk about the bat-shit crazy teachings, the changed beliefs, the hypocrisy, the scandals, and the fact that it is a cult.

Qualifications for Gods Sole Channel--interesting article from the meletivivlon site
by Jon Preston inqualifications to become gods channel of communication[this article was contributed by apollos].
the new teaching of the appointment of the faithful and discreet slave has arguably made 1919 an even more important date to jehovahs witnesses than 1914. appendix b1 of the revised nwt bible shows a time line of the message of the bible in relation to gods rulership.
it is of note that the official doctrine of the establishment of gods kingdom in 1914 is not even mentioned only that satan was cast down around that time.. ever since the 1919 doctrine was announced at the 2012 agm, and subsequently published in the july 15th watchtower 2013, the appointment of the slave seems to have become a much more prominent topic in our teaching, and indeed in general discussion among witnesses.. of course we should remind ourselves that this new level of interest really has nothing to do with the date, and everything to do with the nature of the appointment.

When this system continues to drag on with no Armaggedon in sight the JW's will throw J.F.Rutherford under the bus like they did C.T.Russell.

included as a document for them to peruse should be the Letter from WT H.Q to all B.O.E's which tells Elders how to LIE about the scandal.
I must have missed this letter to the elders. Does anyone know any threads about it that posts the letter? I'll do a search to see if I can find it.

Disassociation
by evilone inhi all, i haven't posted here in quite some time.. just as an update, about two years ago, my wife and i moved to a big city about 500 miles away from the town in which we grew up.
we made this move in part to expedite the fading process, which was successful.
when we moved, as i described in an earlier post, we formally transferred from our home cong (where our families are) to a local cong in our new city, and then transferred twice more so as to get lost in the shuffle.

......I am just trying to find a way to be left alone.
There's always these two options.
1. If they contact you, tell them you have not been around because you are depressed over money problems, then ask them for an interest free loan.
2. If that doesn't work.......fake demon possession.

Patterson New York JW Tourist Destination
by Pete Zahut ini saw a photo on facebook of a jw couple i know, apparently you can now get your photo taken with the stars of the jw animated children's videos, at patterson.
i've tried to share it here but it isn't showing up.. basically, you stand in different cartoon scenes of the door to door activity, holding a bookbag and the hand of one of the children's characters from the viedo.
the houses are pastel colored, the cartoon brothers are wearing brightly colored shirts and ties , no jackets.

With free volunteer human labor, a totalitarian style leadership and indoctriated cult members.......the Watchtower can take this cult into any direction it wants to go. Patterson could easily one day be a mega-JW resort pumping millions of JW vacation dollars into the Organization's bank account.

two overlapping generations of anointed blah blah blah question
by SnailsPace2 ini read the watchtower article on this "new light.
" has any information on how "this generation" turned into two overlapping generations of only anointed people been printed?
the word "evidence" was thrown around a lot in the article, but none was provided unless something has been printed since then and i have missed it.
